Summary

Ready to learn about one of the major medieval African empires?

Many people know about the Mali Empire and its famous ruler, Mansa Musa. But did you know there was a major empire that came before it?

Medieval African history tends to get ignored in favor of medieval European history. However, there is so much rich history to uncover, especially in the region of West Africa.

The Ghana Empire is considered one of the greatest empires in African history. There was an abundance of gold in the region, and the Ghana Empire was a powerful trading partner. Advancements were made in administration, allowing it to become a dominant power in the region.

History comes alive in this audiobook.ย Here are just a few of the things you will learn about:


  • How the Ghana Empire rose to power in the first place;

  • What people groups called the Ghana Empire home;

  • The influence of Islam on the empire

  • Why trade was such a major factor in the empireโ€™s control of the region

  • How the Almoravids impacted the Ghana Empire;

  • The decline and eventual downfall of this mighty power;

  • And so much more!
